Double dash was the last great Mario Kart for me. I spent so many hours playing it at uni. The 2 driver mechanic really worked a treat letting you strategize a bit. But it also had fantastic multiplayer that was skill based. Later Mario karts became a lot more luck based. Especially the abomination that was Mario kart Wii. Mario Kart DS was also a lot of fun but Mario Kart 7 just feels really by the numbers. But with how rushed it was to stop the 3DS tanking I guess that was to be expected. Here's hoping the inevitable Mario Kart U comes back to form. Though Nintendo... 60fps is a must, even in split screen! This is a big part of where Mario Kart Wii faltered. Along with being a lot more luck and less skill based, it just didn't feel as tight in split screen.
